Re: [paho-dev] Status of MQTT-S spec

Paho does not include anything to do with MQTT-S, so there is not an immediate issue on that front.

If that changes at any point, then of course sorting out the licensing of the spec is an absolute pre-requisite - if it hasn't already been done by then...

Hmmm. That is unfortunate. Did someone lose the source code to the PDF file for the MQTT-S spec? (sort of joking)

 

Is Paho implementing MQTT-S? Because if it is, this situation does require some immediate attention.

Hi Mike,

 

the intention is for MQTT-S to be available under exactly the same terms as MQTT. The fact the document doesn't contain the appropriate text is, as you say, an oversight.

 

This gets raised with some regularity, but it hasn't been resolved yet.

Someone was asking about the MQTT-S specification, and I noticed that its licensing seems to be unclear.

 

[1] says “Like MQTT, the detailed specification of MQTT-S is open and available at mqtt.org

 

But the spec document[2] on mqtt.org simply says “© Copyright IBM Corporation 2008, 2011. All rights reserved.”  I’ve looked through that document as carefully as I can, and I do not see any license grant similar to what is in the MQTT spec[3].

 

Can anyone clarify for me what the status is on the ability on anyone other than IBM to implement MQTT-S? Is this some oversight that can be easily fixed?

 

Thanks.
